Veteran bodies for the bully. Not much more to say, really.

There isn't anything better on the market, really- Justin Speier was about it. As for Fultz, I think the club is taking a bit of a risk with him, but when it only costs the club money to take the chance, all the better.

Agree. Not sure who else the Indians could have gotten - none of the relievers who got multi year contracts were really worth it, and i just couldn't get happy with the idea of spending $6 million for one year of Eric Gagne....

Fultz is my early candidate for the 2007 Jason Johnson award, but i was happy with the signing of Hernandez and satisfied with the signing of Borowski.

But the Indians need the closer of the future to step foward in 07 - is that Cabrera, Sipp, Matsny, or someone else?
